In this article, you’ll find exactly what you need. Ideas, advice, and even flowers to send the right message on this special day. We’ll take you hand in hand to the perfect date, to something unforgettable.
Valentine’s Day
An excellent way to break the ice on this big day is to tell the reason it is celebrated nowadays. To know where is it from, taking into account that it’s the second most crucial celebration worldwide.
It is stated that Claudius II, Rome emperor from year 268 to 270 BC, had the idea that his soldiers could be more productive if they remained single. As he couldn’t know every soldier’s life, he banned every young men’s marriage, soldier or not.
This law made a young priest named Valentine angry. As a way of protest, he dedicated himself to celebrate secret wedding ceremonies to every young couple that desired to marry.
Some time passed when Claudius discovered it and sentenced Valentine to death. Before executing him, Claudius placed him in prison. Valentine fell in love with the jailer’s daughter in prison, who visited her father every day for lunch.
When the time of the execution came, the priest wrote a love letter to his loved one, and in the end, he wrote: “This message is from your Valentine.” It is told that the letter and his death were on February 14th, 270BC.
A little bit more than 200 years later on 496 AC, Saint Gelasius, the number 49 pope in the catholic church canonized Valentine, turning him into a Saint and placing his date of death as the day we need to remember him. That is how February 14th became Valentine’s Day.
Ideas for a perfect date
Planning and investigation
There are many kinds of people and of course, many ways to have fun. What is an essential aspect of an unforgettable date is planning. To make plans, you need to look for what your significant other likes.
If the date is already very close, rely on your loved ones to get information about their preferences, wh they like and don’t like. Avoid the topic near the date, so as not to raise suspicions and so the level of surprise is maximum.
Once you have the information, you just need to put together the scene, we give you several ideas that you can take, convert, mix to create the perfect environment for Valentine’s Day.
Go out for dinner and something else
This is the classic date that never gets old. If you don’t know where to start looking, start with those sites that have said together that you want to try. Do not leave it to luck, know in advance the place, what they offer, and the budget. Find out if, for that day, you need a reservation and its schedules.
A great idea is to hire a floral service and coordinate with the restaurant to be placed on the reserved table so that you can enjoy both gifts at the same time. Later we will give you an extensive list of the most appropriate flowers for the occasion.
Do not settle for just going out to dinner, plan a walk before or after arriving at the restaurant, decide if you will go to a place where you can enjoy another activity, such as singing, listening to live music or dance, even a play or stand up.
Dinner at home
Preparation is also essential if you are going to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home. Coordinate schedules of activities that happen in the house and create a space within that schedule where everything can be quiet and also be intimate as possible.
Take the time to thoroughly clean, decorate, provide you with details that both of you like. Play with colors, sounds, and smells. You have much more control than if you are going to eat outside. In advance, you can order flowers and send them to the place where the other person is, be it your home, your work, where they usually are located and send them the invitation to dinner at home and the dress code they should wear, from very formal to pajamas.
You can hire a catering service, ask to take away from your favorite restaurant, cook for that person, or if it is an activity that you enjoy a lot: you can cook together and make it the main event of the date.
Then you can enjoy the food in a corner ordered to chat or in front of the screen to enjoy a premiere of your favorite series, a movie you always wanted to watch together or the first movie you saw together. Always choose something unique and cause a lot of emotion, do not leave it to chance.
The suspense as a tool
There are several types of people, as we have already explained. We do not want to overlook any details. Some people are not entirely comfortable with surprises or not knowing what is happening around them. That is very valid, and if you want a super pleasant evening, this is a step you should not underestimate.
You know your partner, and you know their anxiety levels. To be able to plan something beautiful and that both can enjoy the whole process, you can leave clues a few days before about the event and give brushstrokes of how it will be.
Small messages on chocolate, clues of objects related to the whole panorama. Self-adhesive notes on their car or workplace. A short letter. Even an email or a set of text messages if it is not possible to leave them in person. You could still have an ally who puts these details for you.
You can leave pieces of a puzzle. Caps that form words, phrases, drawings. Fly your imagination and create a playful and complicity environment between that person and you.
Seduce that person into suspense, show them that you are not taking anything for granted and that you are planning it very well. Use anticipation as your best weapon. Let them know that they are in your mind most of the time.
Get out of the routine by learning
Eating and having romantic encounters is not the only thing a couple can do on Valentine’s Day. You can book or pre-hire a class of something that both of you always wanted to do: parachute, joinery, drawing, cooking, dancing, photography.
Something that generates both pleasure and also gives you the plus of taking with you for a lifetime. If leaving an imprint forever is your goal this Valentine’s Day, with this safe choice, you will achieve it.
If the workshop cannot be done on the same Valentine’s day, you can invest in a floral arrangement that day and in the message include the confirmation for the activity, along with a note explaining that this is really the gift.
